Sri Ram - The ideal man Avatar (Maryada Purushottam)

About Sri Ram

Sri Ram - the lifeline of Hindus and most popular of all deities was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. A great warrior, ideal king & ideal son's purpose was to show how people should act in life. To set an inspiration among all, Sri Ram took avatar with limitations as a human. Ram has to undergo pain, fear and desperation to set an example of how patienly we can overcome it following dharma. Still in India, Sri Ram is recited from greetings to death rituals of a person. Sri Ram is religiously followed all over in Hinduism.

The Story of Sri Ram

Sri Ram, An Avatar of Vishnu was born in Treta Yug in Ayodhya province as the son of Dashrath & Kaushalya. Dashrath has three queen consorts - Kaushalya, Sumitra & Kaikeyi & four child - Ram, Laxman, Bharat & Shatrughan. After there marriage, Dashrath thought to crown Ram but Kaikeyi reminded Dashrath of two boons and asked him to crown his son Bharat & banish Ram on exile. The story of Ram is about the exile with his consort Sita & Laxman. Ravana - the demon king abducted Sita, Ram met Hanuman & formed an army to conquer Ravana & got back his wife Sita. They all returned to Ayodhya & Ram become the righteous King. Still today the Ram's empire (Ram Rajya) is hailed and Ram has become an eternal lifeline for all the race. The Story of Ram is mainly mentioned in great epics - Ramayana & Ramcharitmanas. The legend of Sri Ram is deeply influential and popular in the societies of the Indian subcontinent and across South East Asia.

Hinduism - A way of life

Hinduism is a dominant & the oldest religion of faith in South Asia, mostly India and Nepal. More than religion, it is a way of living. Many philosophies, many traditions, many Gods, many languages, numerous casts, creeds but Unity in Diversity - Vasudev Kutumbakam. Hinduism is a practice & main religion is referred as 'Sanatana Dharma' - The Eternal Law of Righteousness. This law suggests finding the truth within, self-realization & seeking wisdom. Hinduism is sometimes called "Framework of Spirituality", "Mother of all religions" as we can see all other religions are virtually influenced.

As per the Hindu philosophy, universe undergoes regular creation and destruction. Hence Space & Time are of cyclic nature. Everything is constantly changing and every creation will be destroyed. Birth of Universe is Brahma, followed by Life as Vishnu and Death as Shiva. Om (ॐ) is the first sound & origin of all creation.

Quran Surah 6 - Al-An'am (The Cattle)

Ayat 1 - ALL PRAISE BE to God who created the heavens
and the earth, and ordained darkness and light. Yet the unbelievers make the others equal of their Lord.

Ayat 2 - It is He who created you from clay then
determined a term (of life) for you, and a term (is fixed) with Him. Even then you doubt.

Ayat 3 - He is God in the heavens and the earth. He
knows what you hide and bring out into the open, and knows what you earn (of good and evil).

Ayat 4 - Yet no sign of their Lord comes to them but
they turn away from it.

Ayat 5 - So they disbelieved the truth when it came to
them; but they will soon come to know the reality of what they had ridiculed.

Ayat 6 - Do they not see how many generations We laid
low before them, whom We had firmly established in the land as We have not established you, and showered abundant rain on them,
and made rivers lap at their feet, yet whom We destroyed for their sins, and raised new generations after them?

Ayat 7 - Even if We had sent you a transcript on paper
which they could feel with their hands, the unbelievers would have said: "This is nothing but clear sorcery."

Ayat 8 - They say: "How is it no angel was sent down
to him?" Had We sent an angel down the matter would have come to end, and they would have had no respite.

Ayat 9 - Even if We had sent down an angel as
messenger he would have appeared in the garb of a man and filled them with confusion, like the one they are filled with.

Ayat 10 - Surely the apostles have been mocked before
you; but what they had mocked rebounded on the mockers themselves.

Ayat 11 - Say: "Travel in the land and see what
happened to those who disbelieved."

Ayat 12 - And ask: "To whom belongs what is in the
heavens and the earth?" Say: "To God." He has prescribed grace for Himself. He will gather you on the Day of Resurrection
which is certain to come. Only they who are lost of soul will not come to believe.

Ayat 13 - Whatsoever dwells in the night and day
belongs to Him. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.

Ayat 14 - Say: "Should I find some other protector
besides God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who nourishes all and is nourished by none? Say: "I am commanded to be
the first to submit to Him, and not be an idolater."

Ayat 16 - Whosoever is spared that Day will surely
have mercy shown to him, and this will be a clear triumph.

Ayat 17 - If God sends you harm, there is no one but
He who can take it away; and if He bring you good, surely He has power over everything.

Ayat 18 - It is He who prevails over His creatures,
and He is all-wise and aware.

Ayat 19 - Ask: "Of all things what is most vital as
evidence?" Say: "God (who) is witness between you and me that this Qur´an has been revealed to me that I may warn you on its
strength, and those whom it reaches. Do you really bear witness there are other gods with God?" Tell them: "I bear no such
Witness." Say: "Verily He is the only God, and I am clear of what you associate (with Him)."

Ayat 20 - Those to whom We have given the Book know it
distinctly as they know their sons; but those who are lost of soul do not believe.

Ayat 21 - And who is more wicked than he who invents
lies about God or denies His revelations? Surely the wicked will not succeed.

Ayat 22 - The day We shall gather all of them together
and say to those who ascribe (partners to God): "Where are the compeers who you claimed (were equal to God)?"

Ayat 23 - Then their excuse will be but to say: "By
God our Lord, we were not idolaters."

Ayat 24 - You will see how they will lie against
themselves, and all their slanderings will be vain.

Ayat 25 - There are some among them who listen to you;
but We have put a covering on their hearts so that they fail to understand it, and a deafness appears in their ears. Even if
they saw all the signs they would not believe in them; and even when they come to you to dispute with you, the unbelievers say:
"This is nothing but fables of antiquity."

Ayat 26 - And they forbid others from (believing in)
it, and themselves keep away from it. But they ruin none but themselves, and do not understand.

Ayat 27 - If you should see them when they are stood
before the Fire, they will say: "Ah would that we were sent back (to the world)! We shall not deny the signs of our Lord, and
be among those who believe."

Ayat 28 - But no. What they were hiding has now become
clear to them. If they were sent back they would surely return to what had been forbidden them, for surely they are liars.

Ayat 29 - They say: "There is no other life but that
of this world, and we will not be raised (from the dead)."

Ayat 30 - If you see them when they are put before
their Lord, He will say to them: "Is not this the truth?" They will answer: "Indeed, by our Lord." He will say: "Then
taste the agony of punishment for what you had denied."

Ayat 31 - They are surely lost who call the meeting
with God a lie. When the Hour comes upon them unawares, they will say: "Alas, we neglected it!" and carry their burdens on
their backs: How evil the burden they will carry!

Ayat 32 - As for the life of this world, it is nothing
but a frolic and frivolity. The final abode is the best for those who are pious and fear God. Do you not comprehend?

Ayat 33 - We know what they say distresses you. It is
not you in fact they accuse of lies, but the wicked deny the revelations of God!

Ayat 34 - Many an apostle has been accused of lies
before you. Yet they bore with fortitude the falsehoods and the hurt until our help arrived. There is no changing the word of
God: The news of (past) apostles has come to you already.

Ayat 35 - If their aversion still weighs upon you,
seek out a tunnel (going deep) into the earth, or a ladder reaching out to the skies, and bring them a sign: (Even then they
will not believe). If God had willed He would have brought them all to the right path. So be not like the pagans.

Ayat 36 - Only they will respond who can hear. As for
the dead, raised they will be by God, then to Him they will be returned.

Ayat 37 - They say: "How is it no miracle was sent
down to him from his Lord?" Say: "God certainly has power to send down a miracle; but most men cannot understand."

Ayat 38 - There is not a thing that moves on the
earth, no bird that flies on its wings, but has a community of its own like yours. There is nothing that We have left out from
recording. Then they will all be gathered before their Lord.

Ayat 39 - Those who deny Our revelations are deaf,
dumb, and lost in the dark. God sends whosoever He wills astray, and leads whom He will to the straight path.

Ayat 40 - Say: "Have you thought if the punishment of
God or the Hour (of Doom) came upon you, would you call to any other than God? Answer, if you are men of truth."

Ayat 41 - No: You will call to Him alone; and He will,
if He please, remove (the distress) for which you had called Him; and forget those you associate as compeers (with Him)

Ayat 42 - We have indeed sent (apostles) to many a
people before you, and inflicted upon them hardships and afflictions so that they might submit.

Ayat 43 - Then why did they not submit when Our
punishment came upon them? But their hearts were hardened, and Satan made things they were doing look attractive to them.

Ayat 44 - When they had become oblivious of what they
were warned, We opened wide the gates of everything to them; yet as they rejoiced at what they were given, We caught them
unawares, and they were filled with despair.

Ayat 45 - Thus were the wicked people rooted out of
existence to the last. All praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.

Ayat 46 - Say: "Imagine if God takes away your
hearing and sight, and sets a seal on your hearts, what deity other than God will restore them to you?" See how We inflect Our
signs: Even then they turn aside.

Ayat 47 - Say: "Imagine if the punishment of God were
to come unawares, or openly, who will perish but the evil-doers?"

Ayat 48 - We do not send apostles but to give good
tidings and to warn. Then those who believe or reform will have neither fear nor regret.

Ayat 49 - But those who deny Our messages will be
seized by nemesis for being disobedient.

Ayat 50 - Tell them: "I do not say that I possess the
treasures of God, or have knowledge of the Unknown, or that I am an angel. I only follow what is sent down to me." And say:
"How can a blind man and a man who can see, be alike? Will you not reflect?"

Ayat 51 - Warn those who fear, through this (Qur´an),
that they will be gathered before their Lord, and they will have none to protect or intercede for them apart from Him. They may
haply take heed for themselves.

Ayat 52 - Do not turn away those who supplicate their
Lord morning and evening, seeking His magnificence. You are not accountable for them in the least, nor they for you at all. If
you drive them away you will only be unjust.

Ayat 53 - Thus do We try men through one another so
that they may ask: "Are these the ones of all of us who have been favoured by God?" Does God not know who are the grateful?

Ayat 54 - When those who believe in Our revelations
come to you, say to them: "Peace on you." Your Lord has prescribed grace for Himself, so that in case one of you commits evil
out of ignorance, then feels repentant and reforms, He may be forgiving and kind.

Ayat 55 - Thus distinctly do We explain Our signs that
the way of sinners may become distinct.

Ayat 56 - Tell them: "I am forbidden to worship those
you invoke apart from God." And say: "I will not follow your wishes. If I do, I shall be lost and not be one of those who
follow the right path."

Ayat 57 - Tell them: "A clear proof has come to me
from my Lord, and Him you deny. But what you wish to be hastened is not within my power. The judgement is only God´s. He
unfolds the Truth, and is the best of judges."

Ayat 58 - Say: "If what you wish to be hastened were
in my power, all matters between you and me would have been settled; God is cognisant of those who are unjust."

Ayat 59 - He has the keys of the Unknown. No one but
He has knowledge; He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the
darkest (recess) of the earth, nor any thing green or seared that is not recorded in the open book (of nature).

Ayat 60 - It is He indeed who sends you to death at
night, and knows what you do in the day, then makes you rise with it again in order that the fixed term of life be fulfilled.
Then to Him you will be returned when He will tell you what you did.

Ayat 61 - He has power over His creatures, and
appoints guardians to watch over them. When death comes to one of you, Our messengers take away his soul, and do not falter.

Ayat 62 - Then they are taken to God, their real lord
and master. His indeed is the judgement; and He is swift at reckoning.

Ayat 63 - Ask: "Who is it who comes to your rescue in
the darkness of the desert and the sea, and whom you supplicate humbly and unseen: ´If You deliver us from this, we shall
indeed he grateful?´

Ayat 64 - Say: "God delivers you from this and every
calamity. Even then you ascribe compeers (to Him)!"

Ayat 65 - Say: "He has power to send you retribution
from the skies above, or the earth beneath your feet, or confound you with divisions among you, and give one the taste of the
vengeance of the other." See, how distinctly We explain Our signs that they may understand.

Ayat 66 - This (Book) has been called by your people a
falsehood though it is the truth. Say: "I am not a warden over you."

Ayat 67 - A time is fixed for every prophecy; you will
come to know in time.

Ayat 68 - When you see them argue about Our messages,
withdraw from their company until they begin to talk of other things. In case the Devil makes you forget, leave the company of
these unjust people the moment you remember this.

Ayat 69 - As for the heedful and devout, they are not
accountable for them, but should give advice: They may haply come to fear God.

Ayat 70 - Leave those alone who have made a sport and
frolic of their faith, and have been seduced by the life of this world. Remind them hereby lest a man is doomed for what he has
done. He will have none to help him, or intercede for him, other than God; and even if he offer all the ransoms they will not
be accepted from him. They are those who will be destroyed by their own acts. There will be scalding water to drink for them
and painful punishment, for they had disbelieved.

Ayat 71 - Say: ´Should we call in place of God one who
can neither help nor do us harm, and turn back after having been guided by God, like a man beguiled by the devils who wanders
perplexed in the wilderness while his friends call him back to the right path, saying: ´Come to us, this way?´ Say: "God´s
guidance is (true) guidance, and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all the worlds.

Ayat 72 - Observe (your) devotional obligations and
fear (God), for it is He before whom you will be gathered (in the end)."

Ayat 73 - It is He who created the heavens and the
earth with a definite purpose. The day He will say "Be, " it will be. His word is the truth, His alone the power on the Day
when the blast of the trumpet will be sounded. He knows the hidden and the visible. He is all-prudent and all-knowing.

Ayat 74 - Remember when Abraham said to Azar, his
father: "Why do you take idols for God? I certainly find you and your people in error."

Ayat 75 - Thus We showed to Abraham the visible and
invisible world of the heavens and the earth, that he could be among those who believe.

Ayat 76 - When the night came with her covering of
darkness he saw a star, and (Azar, his father) said: "This is my Lord." But when the star set, (Abraham) said: "I love not
those that wane."

Ayat 77 - When (Azar) saw the moon rise all aglow, he
said: "This is my Lord." But even as the moon set, (Abraham) said: "If my Lord had not shown me the way I would surely have
gone astray."

Ayat 78 - When (Azar) saw the sun rise all
resplendent, he said: "My Lord is surely this, and the greatest of them all." But the sun also set, and (Abraham) said: "O
my people, I am through with those you associate (with God).

Ayat 79 - I have truly turned my face towards Him who
created the heavens and the earth: I have chosen one way and am not an idolater."

Ayat 80 - His people argued, and he said: "Do you
argue with me about God? He has guided me already, and I fear not what you associate with Him, unless my Lord wills, for held
within the knowledge of my Lord is everything. Will you not reflect?

Ayat 81 - And why should I fear those you associate
with Him when you fear not associating others with God for which He has sent down no sanction? Tell me, whose way is the way of
peace, if you have the knowledge?

Ayat 82 - They alone have peace who believe and do not
intermix belief with denial, and are guided on the right path."

Ayat 83 - This is the argument We gave to Abraham
against his people. We exalt whosoever We please in rank by degrees. Your Lord is wise and all-knowing.

Ayat 84 - And We gave him Isaac and Jacob and guided
them, as We had guided Noah before them, and of his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus
We reward those who are upright and do good.

Ayat 85 - Zachariah and John We guided, and guided
Jesus and Elias who were all among the upright.

Ayat 86 - We gave guidance to Ishmael, Elisha and
Jonah and Lot; And We favoured them over the other people of the world,

Ayat 87 - As We did some of their fathers and progeny
and brethren, and chose them, and showed them the right path.

Ayat 88 - This is God´s guidance: He gives among His
creatures whom He will. If they had associated others with Him, surely vain would have been all they did.

Ayat 89 - Those were the people to whom We gave the
Book and the Law and the Prophethood. But if they reject these things We shall entrust them to a people who will not deny.

Ayat 90 - Those were the people who were guided by
God; so follow their way. Say: "I ask no recompense of you for this. It is but a reminder for all the people of the world."

Ayat 91 - But they failed to make a just estimation of
God when they said: "He did not reveal to any man any thing." Ask them: "Who then revealed the Book that Moses brought, -- a
guidance and light for men, -- which you treat as sheafs of paper, which you display, yet conceal a great deal, though through
it you were taught things you did not know before, nor even your fathers knew?" Say: "God," and leave them to the sport of
engaging in vain discourse.

Ayat 92 - And this (Qur´an) is another Book that We
have revealed, blessed, affirming the earlier (revelations), so that you may warn the people of (Makkah) the town of towns, and
those who live around it. Those who believe in the life to come shall believe in it and be watchful of their moral obligations.

Ayat 93 - Who is more vile than he who slanders God of
falsehood, or says: "Revelation came to me," when no such revelation came to him; or one who claims: "I can reveal the like
of what has been sent down by God?" If you could see the evil creatures in the agony of death with the angels thrusting
forward their hands (saying): "Yield up your souls: This day you will suffer ignominious punishment for uttering lies about
God and rejecting His signs with arrogance."

Ayat 94 - "You have come before Us all alone," (God
will say), "as when you were created first, leaving behind all that We had bestowed on you. We do not see your intercessors
with you who, you imagined, had partnership with you. Shattered lie your ties with them now, and gone are the claims you made.
"

Ayat 95 - Indeed it is God who splits up the seed and
the kernel, and brings forth the living from the dead, the dead from the living. This is God: So whither do you stray?

Ayat 96 - He ushers in the dawn, and made the night
for rest, the sun and moon a computation. Such is the measure appointed by Him, the omnipotent and all-wise.

Ayat 97 - It is He who made the stars by which you
reckon your way through the darkness of the desert and the sea. Distinct have We made Our signs for those who recognise.

Ayat 98 - It is He who produced you from a single
cell, and appointed a place of sojourning, (the womb of the mother), and a place of depositing, (the grave). How clear have We
made Our signs for those who understand.

Ayat 99 - It is He who sends down water from the
skies, and brings out of it everything that grows, the green foliage, the grain lying close, the date palm trees with clusters
of dates, and the gardens of grapes, and of olives and pomegranates, so similar yet so unlike. Look at the fruits, how they
appear on the trees, and they ripen. In all these are signs for those who believe.

Ayat 100 - Yet they ascribe to jinns a partnership
with God, although He created them; and they ascribe to Him sons and daughters, without possessing any knowledge. All praise be
to Him. He is much too exalted for things they associate (with Him).

Ayat 101 - Creator of the heavens and the earth from
nothingness, how could He have a son when He has no mate? He created all things, and has knowledge of all things.

Ayat 102 - This is God, your Lord; there is no god but
He, the creator of all things. So pay homage to Him, for He takes care of everything.

Ayat 103 - No eyes can penetrate Him, but He
penetrates all eyes, and He knows all the mysteries, for He is all-knowing.

Ayat 104 - To you have come signs from your Lord, (and
the light of understanding). So any one who sees (and understands) does so for himself, and any one who turns blind shall
suffer the consequences alone. (Say:) "I am not a guardian over you (to make you understand)."

Ayat 105 - Thus in varied ways We explain Our signs so
that they may say: "You have been instructed," and that We might make it clear to those who understand.

Ayat 106 - So follow what is sent down to you by your
Lord, for homage is due to no one but God, and turn away from idolaters.

Ayat 107 - Had He willed they would not have been
idolaters. We have not appointed you their guardian, nor are you their pleader.

Ayat 108 - Do not revile those who invoke others apart
from God, lest they begin to revile God out of malice and ignorance. We have made attractive their deeds to every people. They
have to go back to their Lord, when He will tell them what they used to do.

Ayat 109 - They solemnly swear by God: "If a sign
comes to us we shall certainly believe in it." Tell them: "The signs are with God." Yet for all you know they will not
believe if the signs came to them.

Ayat 110 - We shall turn their hearts and their eyes,
for they did not believe them at the very first, and leave them to wander perplexed in bewilderment.

Ayat 111 - Even if We send down the angels to them,
and the dead should speak to them, and We gather all things before their eyes, they will not believe, unless God should will,
for most of them are ignorant.

Ayat 112 - That is how We have made for each apostle
opponents, the satans among men and jinns, who inspire one another with deceitful talk. But if your Lord had willed they would
not have done so. Pay no attention to them and to what they fabricate.

Ayat 113 - Let those who do not believe in the life to
come, listen to it and be pleased with it, and let them gain what they may gain.

Ayat 114 - (Say): "Then should I seek (the source of)
law elsewhere than God, when it is He who has revealed this Book to you, which distinctly explains (everything)?" Those to
whom We have given the Book know it has been sent by your Lord in truth. So be not a sceptic.

Ayat 115 - Perfected are the laws of your Lord in
truth and justice, and there is no changing His laws. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.

Ayat 116 - If you follow the majority of people on the
earth, they will lead you astray from the path of God, for they follow only conjecture and surmise.

Ayat 117 - Your Lord surely knows those who have
strayed from his path, and knows those who are rightly guided.

Ayat 118 - Eat only that over which the name of God
has been pronounced, if you truly believe in His commands.

Ayat 119 - And why should you not eat of that over
which the name of God has been pronounced, when He has made it distinctly clear what is forbidden, unless you are constrained
to do so. Surely many (men) mislead others into following their vain desires through lack of knowledge. Your Lord certainly
knows the transgressors.

Ayat 120 - Discard both the visible and invisible sin.
For those who sin will be punished for what they have done.

Ayat 121 - Do not eat of that over which God´s name
has not been pronounced, for that would amount to exceeding the limits of law. Certainly the devils inspire their proteges to
dispute with you: If you obey them, you will surely become an idolater.

Ayat 122 - Can he who was lifeless, to whom We gave
life, and gave him a light in whose glow he walks among men, be like him who is used to darkness from which he can never
emerge? Thus have been their doings made attractive to unbelievers.

Ayat 123 - And thus have We placed in every city the
greatest of the sinners to contrive and deceive; yet they contrive against no one but themselves even though they do not know.

Ayat 124 - Every time a sign comes to them they say:
"We shall never believe till what God´s apostles had been given comes to us." God knows best where to direct His messages. A
degradation will befall the sinners and chastisement from God for deceiving.

Ayat 125 - Thus God guides whomsoever He please by
opening wide his breast to surrender; and Straitens the breasts of those He allows to go astray, (who feel suffocated) as if
they were ascending the skies. Thus will God punish those who do not believe.

Ayat 126 - This is the straight path of your Lord.
Distinct have We made Our signs for those who reflect.

Ayat 127 - For them is an abode of peace with their
Lord. He will be their defender as reward for what they did.

Ayat 128 - On the day He will gather them together,
(He will say:) "O you assembly of jinns, you made great use of men." But their proteges among men will say: "O our Lord, we
lived a life of mutual gain, but have now reached the term You ordained for us." "Your abode is Hell," He will say, "where
you will dwell for ever, unless God please otherwise." Verily your Lord is wise and all-knowing.

Ayat 129 - Thus do We place some sinners over others
as requital for their deeds.

Ayat 130 - O you assembly of jinns and men, did not
apostles come to you from among you, communicating My signs to you, bringing warnings of this your day (of Doom)?" They will
answer: "We bear witness to our sins." They were surely deluded by the life of the world, and bore witness against themselves
because they were unbelievers.

Ayat 131 - And this (so that it may be clear) that
your Lord does not destroy towns and cities arbitrarily while the citizens remain unaware.

Ayat 132 - Every one has his place according to his
deeds, for your Lord is not negligent of what you do.

Ayat 133 - Your Lord is all-sufficient and full of
benevolence. He can take you away if He please, and make whom He will succeed you, as He had raised you from the progeny of
others.

Ayat 134 - The promise that was made to you is bound
to be fulfilled. It is not in your power to defeat it.

Ayat 135 - Tell them: "O my people, go on acting on
your part, I am acting on mine. You will soon know whose is the guerdon of life to come." The wicked will not succeed.

Ayat 136 - They allocate a share from God´s own
created fields and cattle to God, and they say: "This is God´s" -- or so they think -- "and that, of the compeers of God,"
so that what belongs to the compeers does not reach God, but that which is God´s may reach the compeers (set up by them). How
bad is the judgement that they make!

Ayat 137 - In the same way have their companions shown
many unbelievers the killing of their children as desirable in order to ruin them and falsify their faith. If God had so willed
they would never have done so. Leave them to their falsehoods.

Ayat 138 - They also say: "These cattle and these
crops are consecrated. None may eat of them other than those we permit," -- so they assert. "And the use of these cattle is
forbidden for carrying burden." They do not pronounce the name of God on certain animals, inventing lies against Him. He will
punish them for what they fabricate.

Ayat 139 - And they say: "Whatever is in the wombs of
these cattle is only meant for men and forbidden our women; but in case it should be still-born both could eat it." God will
punish them for what they assert. He is all-wise and all-knowing.

Ayat 140 - They will surely perish who kill their
offspring in ignorance foolhardily, and forbid the food that God has given them by fabricating lies against God. Misguided are
they surely, and will never come to guidance.

Ayat 141 - It is He who grew the gardens, trellised
and bowered, and palm trees and land sown with corn and many other seeds, and olives and pomegranates, alike and yet unlike. So
eat of their fruit when they are in fruit, and give on the day of harvesting His due, and do not be extravagant, for God does
not love those who are prodigal.

Ayat 142 - He has created beasts of burden and cattle
for slaughter. So eat of what God has given you for food, and do not walk in the footsteps of Satan who is surely your declared
enemy.

Ayat 143 - There are eight pairs, two of the species
of sheep and two of goats. Ask them which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in
their wombs? Produce the sanction if you are truthful.

Ayat 144 - And there are two of camels and two of
oxen. Ask them: "Which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in their wombs?" Were
you present at the time God issued this command?" Who then could be more wicked than he who fabricates a lie and ascribes it
to God to mislead men, without any knowledge? God does not guide the miscreants.

Ayat 145 - You tell them: "In all the commands
revealed to me I find nothing which men have been forbidden to eat except carrion and running blood and flesh of the swine for
it is unclean, or meat consecrated in the name of some other than God, which is profane. But if one is constrained to eat of
these without craving or reverting to it, then surely your Lord is forgiving and kind."

Ayat 146 - We made unlawful for the Jews all animals
with claws or nails, and the fat of the oxen and sheep, except that on their backs or their intestines, or which remains
attached to their bones. This was the punishment for their insubordination; and what We say is true.

Ayat 147 - If they call you a liar, tell them infinite
is the mercy of your Lord; but His vengeance will not be turned back from the sinners.

Ayat 148 - But the idolaters say: "If God had so
willed we would not have associated (others with Him), nor would have our fathers, nor would we have forbidden any thing." So
had others denied before them, and had to taste Our punishment in the end. Ask them: "Have you any knowledge? Then display it.
You follow nothing but conjecture, and are nothing but liars."

Ayat 149 - Say: "To God belongs the consummate
argument. Had He willed He would surely have guided all of you aright."

Ayat 150 - Tell them: "Bring your witnesses to
testify that God has forbidden this (and this)." Then even if they testify, you should not testify with them; and do not
follow the wishes of those who deny Our signs and believe not in the Hereafter, and make others the equal of their Lord.

Ayat 151 - Tell them: "Come, I will read out what
your Lord has made binding on you: That you make none the equal of God, and be good to your parents, and do not abandon your
children out of poverty, for We give you food and We shall provide for them; and avoid what is shameful, whether open or
hidden, and do not take a life which God has forbidden, unless for some just cause. These things has God enjoined on you. Haply
you may understand.

Ayat 152 - Do not spend the belongings of the orphans
but for their betterment, until they come of age; and give in full measure, and weigh justly on the balance. God does not
burden a soul beyond capacity. When you say a thing, let it be just, even though the matter relate to a relative of yours, and
fulfil a promise made to God. These are the things that He has enjoined that you may take heed.

Ayat 153 - (He has further commanded:) ´This is My
straight path, so walk along it, and do not follow other ways, lest you should turn away from the right one.´ All this has He
commanded. You may perhaps take heed for yourselves."

Ayat 154 - To that end We gave the Book to Moses, a
perfect law, distinctly explaining all things, and a guidance and grace, so that they should believe in the meeting with their
Lord.

Ayat 155 - Blessed is this Book We have revealed; so
follow it and preserve yourself from evil that you may qualify for grace,

Ayat 156 - Lest you say: "The Book that was sent
before was meant only for two groups; we were not aware of their teachings;"

Ayat 157 - Or that: "Had the Book been sent down to
us we would surely have been guided better than they." So you have now received from your Lord a clear proof and a guidance
and grace. Then who is more wicked than he who denies the signs of God and turns away from them? We shall punish those severely
who turn away: A requital indeed for having turned aside.

Ayat 158 - What are the people waiting for? For the
angels to come down, or your Lord to appear, or some signs from your Lord? The day when certain signs appear from your Lord,
the embracing of faith shall not be of any avail to one who did not come to belief at first, or who did not perform good deeds
by virtue of his faith. Tell them: "Wait on, we are waiting too (for the good and evil to become distinct)."

Ayat 159 - As for those who have created schisms in
their order, and formed different sects, you have no concern with them. Their affair is with God. He will tell them the truth
of what they were doing.

Ayat 160 - He who does a good deed will receive ten
times its worth; and he who does evil will be requited to an equal degree; and no one will be wronged.

Ayat 161 - Tell them: "My Lord has directed me to a
path that is straight, a supreme law, the creed of Abraham the upright who was not an idolater."

Ayat 162 - Tell them: "My service and sacrifice, my
life and my death, are all of them for God, the creator and Lord of all the worlds.

Ayat 163 - No equal has He, I am commanded (to
declare), and that I am the first to submit."

Ayat 164 - Say: "Shall I search for another lord
apart from God when He is the only Lord of all and everything?" Each soul earns (what it earns) for itself, and no man shall
bear another´s burden. You have to go back to your Lord in the end when He will tell you about the things you disputed.

Ayat 165 - It is He who made you trustees on the
earth, and exalted some in rank over others in order to try you by what He has given you. Indeed your Lord´s retribution is
swift, yet He is forgiving and kind.
